Dorothy wasn't thinking much, just lying in bed unable to sleep, listening to the sound of running water from the bathroom.
But as time ticked by...
Everett's shower seemed to be taking unusually long.
Half an hour had passed, and there was still no sign of him coming out.
She sat up in bed, slipped into her slippers, and tiptoed to the bathroom door.
The door was securely shut, revealing nothing! She could barely make out a silhouette moving inside.
Left with no other choice, Dorothy reluctantly knocked on the door.
“Everett?”
The moment she spoke, the person inside abruptly stopped moving.
“Are you okay? You didn’t pass out from the heat or anything, did you?”
“No.”
Everett’s voice, when he finally spoke, was hoarse and barely recognizable.
Dorothy had been around the block enough times to know something was up without needing further explanation.
She quickly pulled her hand back, figuring it was best not to interrupt Everett’s “moment”.
But then, the next second, the bathroom door swung open—
Everett stood there, his handsome face flushed, wet hair clinging to his forehead, droplets of water trailing down his face.
Though he was wrapped in a bathrobe, it was loosely tied, leaving little to the imagination...
“You, you!”
Even after all their intimate moments, Dorothy still couldn’t get used to scenes like this and quickly turned away.
“Tie your robe up, will you!”
“What’s there to be shy about? It’s not like you haven’t seen it before.” Everett reached out, pulling her into a tight embrace, only then did she notice how alarmingly hot his skin was.
“Are you running a fever?”
“No.” Everett pinned her to the wall, leaning in to kiss her, “Dorothy... I can’t seem to get it... done myself.”
He had tried his best not to bother Dorothy.

Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
